Doing it in one loop:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
die "Usage: ", $0 =~ /([^\/]+)$/, " <filename>\n" unless @ARGV;
$^I = ''; # We're really brave - no backup file!
+
while (<>){
next unless /./; # Skip empty lines
tr/A-Z/a-z/; # Lowercase the lot
s#^(?!http://)#http://#; # Prefix 'http://' if one is missing
print;
}
If 'petpages' contains the following:
foobar.com
http://foo.int
fOoBaR.nEt
FoObAr.OrG
then running the above script with 'petpages' as an argument results in the content being changed to this:
http://foobar.com
http://foo.int
http://foobar.net
http://foobar.org
Update: Clarified phrasing a bit.
